ANGELINA COUNTY, TX (KTRE) - A
plane made an emergency landing in Angelina County off FM 1818
Wednesday afternoon. Both the pilot and his passenger were not injured
in the crash. Trooper David Hendry, a spokesman for the Texas
Department of Public Safety, said the plane was traveling from Brazoria
County to the Angelina County Airport when it had some kind of
mechanical problem that forced the pilot Troy Navarro, 51, of Spring, to
make an emergency landing.
Because of the rugged terrain where
the plane went down, Hendry said he was unable to give any specifics on
exactly where the aircraft crashed. He said the plane crashed off of FM
1818 near Diboll. Angelina County Sheriff's deputies and DPS troopers were on the scene.
